Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be wagered on in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, using a net account. The regulations are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the best combination of cards possible in order to come away with money. On this account it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most profitable game every instance.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the gambler a chance to double their winnings, in which instance a further game is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
